TVOD

Definition

Transactional Video on Demand. A streaming model where viewers pay to rent or buy individual titles. Apple TV, Google Play, and Fandango at Home (formerly Vudu) operate on this model. Filmmakers typically earn a percentage of each transaction.

Example

When a viewer rents your film for $4.99 on Apple TV, you receive approximately 70% of the transaction, or about $3.49 per rental.
